Please can anyone suggest a free application which creates virtual serial ports and any traffic on that port is redirected to given TCP/IP address?
Hemant
The Serial/IP Virtual COM port redirector creates virtual serial ports for your application to use networked serial devices with the performance and reliability of a 100% kernel driver data path. Download now and try it free for 30 days with our outstanding tech support! In the TCP/Com window just select the com port number and the serial communications parameters for your serial device and enter an IP address and a socket number. Then activate! It's that easy! Com port data will appear at the IP address and data from an IP port will appear at a real or virtual com port. Recent Updates.

If this is for Windows, then see HW VSP3 - Virtual Serial Port
HW VSP is a software driver that adds a virtual serial port (e.g. COM5) to the operating system and redirects the data from this port via a TCP/IP network to another hardware interface, which is specified by its IP address and port number.
Main Features
- Free, unrestricted Virtual Serial Port driver for any TCP/IP devices
- Compatible with Windows 2000, XP (Win 98, NT) and Windows Vista
- Runs as a standalone application, or as a NT service suitable for servers
- Option to start at Windows startup and minimize to System Tray
- Single-port (free) and multi-port (commercial) version
- Supports RFC 2217, allowing to change remote serial port parameters (such as speed, parity, stop bits) over TCP using NVT
- VSP driver typically operates as a “TCP client”; however, it can also be used as a “TCP server” (useful for GPRS applications)
- Configuration stored in an INI file
- Configuration protected with a password
- Supports UAC (User Account Control – user switching in Windows XP and Vista)
- This software is FREEWARE, as long as you comply with the license terms and conditions

Seiko slide rule manual free. com0com, Null-modem emulator, also includes COM to TCP redirection.
The Null-modem emulator can be used to provide serial interface for COM port redirectors. For example, with the com2tcp ( COM port to TCP redirector, part of the com0com project ) you can communicate via serial interface with the TCP/IP servers.

I just found TCPCOM32 and there are also some other projects at SourceForge which are doing such a thing.
Also, what operating system?
It has already been ported to many different platforms, such as Windows, BeOS, Linux, MacOS X.It also emulates CPU:286/386 realmode/protected mode, Directory FileSystem/XMS/EMS, Tandy/Hercules/CGA/EGA/VGA/VESA graphics, a SoundBlaster/Gravis Ultra Sound card for excellent sound compatibility with older games.You can 're-live' the good old days with the help of DOSBox, it can run plenty of the old classics that don't run on your new computer! DOS Emulator is totally free of charge and OpenSource.At present, DOS Box running on a high-end machine will roughly be the equivalent of a Pentium I PC. DOSBox is a DOS-emulator that uses the SDL-library which makes DOS Box very easy to port to different platforms. Download dosbox for mac.

Tcp To Serial
I'm using perle trueport to connect to a ser2net server. Trueport is RFC2217 compliant, which means you can use any baudrate you want.
